Shooting Cancelled

During the Christmas holidays we had agreed to shoot our opening sequence on the 21/12/11 and the 31/12/11 but sadly i was not available on either dates due to work as well as georgina that had work on these dates. It wasn't down to bad planning as the shifts were both given to us last minute and we couldn't decline as the Christmas period is the most busy in retail. We tried to change the dates to shoot but both of us were just overrun with different problems so we came to a decision that we would shoot after the christmas period.

We were aware that as we missed our chance in the holidays we also missed our slot to use the equipment but we are going to come to an agreement with sir over getting us another slot.

If we were paying for renting the equipment then we worked out how much it would cost

Camera- £300
Lighting- £150
Tripod- £15

In total that comes to £465 and thats a lot of money out of a Film Producers Budget, but thats a mistake we wont make again.

Camera collected, Ready to Shoot

Iv collected the camera and other equiptment were going to need when shooting our opening sequence over the christmas period, 21/12/11 and 31/12/11. I am know looking forward to shooting the opening sequence and making a excellent opening sequence (figures crossed!).

Infancide Target Audience

Our film is targeted at both genders as it will have not only action and violence but also an emotional plot that the main detective has to overcome. Our films targeted at Men and women aged from 18 and over. if it was leaning over to eaither sex it would be male as thriller films just have every aspect that a man looks for in a film such as action, tension and psychological plots.

Problems we came up against whilst filming parity

When filming our parity we came up against 3 problems.

1- the first problem we came up against was how busy the goals mens toilets were, this was a problem as georgina had to keep leaving the toilets everytime a man came by. Due to this we had to take quite a few breaks from filming so the overall filming time was longer

2- The second Problem we had was the tripod and how it cannot pan around the room you can only do still shots with it and in the parity we were remaking this was no good, we had to film the whole sequemce handheld.

3- Our third problem was when filming we held the camera portrait angle for some shots, but for the most of them we held it landscape. When we got back to edit our work some of the shots were rotated on their side due to how we had held the camera and this was a problem because we didnt know how to rotate them back, we watched a few tutorials on youtube and then understand how to do it.

Weather checks

We do not need to check what the weather is going to be like when filming on the 21/12/11 and 31/12/11. As all of our shot are established inside, and will not be affected by the outside weather.

  After asking Georgina's dad for permission, we went to Georgina's house to chose the best rooms to film our opening sequence in. We have chosen one of the lounges with is not decorated and we have taken down all the pictures and family stuff that was in the room. So it know looks like a unhomely room in which the Detective lives.
   These are some photo's of our room for the 'Opening credits' and 'Waking up' scenes. Unfortunately there are boxes in the room as storage but they are being moved by the weekend so this will not be a problem. 

  The second location is in her office, in which we are going to turn into a interview room. We chose this room as it is at the back of the house and does not have big windows so it will look dark, which will build suspense. We will clear this room full of the items and storage it has in it at the moment.
  These are photograph of the room we are using for the 'Interview' scene;

  We chose these two locations as they are appropriate to our opening sequence, we also wanted to chose a location that would make our film look like a real film rather than a student project.
